New York Stays Blue But Reds Like Rudy

New York remains overwhelmingly Democratic in the latest Siena Research Institute poll, with Dems getting at least 50 percent of the vote in any presidential matchups.For example, New Yorkers prefer Hillary Clinton over Rudy Giuliani by a 52-39 percent margin and Hillary trumps McCain 54 to 36.Barack Obama beats Giuliani 50 to 40 and McCain by a 50 to 33 percent margin.

Al Gore would whip Fred Thompson 56 to 28 with Hillary beating him 57 to 29.

New York has been a blue state since 1988 and poll spokesman Steve Greenberg says there’s no reason to think that will change.

Among Republicans, though, Giuliani is way ahead in New York crushing McCain, his closest contender 52-14.

“It doesn’t matter if Rudy faces 10 opponents or just four. Either way he wins big,” said Greenberg.
